I love this sellar, i asked him where the hard drive was that had the drivers for card before falconfly bought his and he never got back to me, so i asked him again and told him card was no good without drivers, here's his reply --> REALLY? THESE STILL GO FOR 300 TO 500 WITH NO DRIVERS, seems its just about the money since thats all he mentioned, no customer service on ebay.

Tell him that they would probably sell for 500 - 1000 if he supplied the drivers with the cards! Wink

See what his next move is then! Grin

I can bet you he gives out the drivers in an instant (if indeed, money is all he cares about).

To be honest though, do we know he has any drivers for the cards? Undecided

I mean, he only says in his auctions that "the cards boots up as 'Voodoo4-4200'" or whatever, and that he has done some 2D testing. He never once mentions that he has tested 3D or used the card for games (or whatever we want to use it for) so there is a chance they may NOT be a set of correct drivers for this card, available. Worrying? Undecided

Re-read the auction-

"POST SCREEN SHOWS THIS CARD EXACTLY LIKE THIS:
3DFX VOODOO4-2 4200"

"TESTED GOOD TO WINDOWS DESKTOP."

States nothing about drivers being installed, the card is in VGA 16 color mode.

"YOU MAY NEED TO DOWNLOAD DRIVERS FROM MFG'S WEBSITE."

That might be true but we need an IBM pn.

"Item is represented as accurately as possible!
However, item is sold "as is", no return unless otherwise specified in the auction description."

He has covered his butt fairly well.

Reply #169 - 09.07.04 at 19:35:39 Yep, and let's not forget : So far, all Testing & Results came from one single User so far (who still has one Driver Core to test on it) Maybe others have more luck, once their Cards arrive...

I emailed the guy, I'm really hoping I get a reply. ???

Interesting auction you have there. I've never heard of IBM making a 3dfx card before.

If possible can you tell me exactly what IBM computer this card came out of?

Is there anyway you can find the drivers for the card in one of the IBM computers hard drives?

Was the card running on a Windows platform with drivers installed? I'm sorry for all the questions and I'm sure you've been asked it many times. I'm really sorry but I must know more about the drivers.

A p/n from one of the IBM computers it came from would be the most helpful in finding the drivers from IBM. It's on the side of the machine and looks like a white sticker. Here's a picture. I really want this card SO bad, but it's useless without drivers.

Alright, I'll start pulling Cards from my Main rig again, and give the x3dfx Win2k 1.07.00 a Test.

--- edit ---

Hm, the Driver indeed works, in so far that I get a normal Desktop, looking good for anything 2D related

Bad news however is :
Every 3D Application I launch (Direct3D, Glide) does exhibit severe Rendering errors with it, and eventually Crashes the machine after a short while... Sad

That sucks! So you have 32bit color with a good resolution now?

Reply #177 - 11.07.04 at 15:03:52 Warning; If you have a dead card seller will tell you- "All video cards we sell tested are sold as is." So if he states it's tested to desktop he is full of crap and take it will a grain of salt.
